GLASGOW star Chris Harris admitted his disappointment after a last-heat chain breakage at the Championship Fours.

Harris was attempting to take the Tigers into a run-off for the title with Peterborough, and was putting the pressure on by leading Heat 12 until the last lap.

He said: “I'm obviously gutted. I was leading the last race and although Scott (Nicholls) was getting the point to win it for Peterborough, he could have been passed to give us a run-off for the title.

"But it just wasn't to be for us. It was a brand new chain as well, just put it on at the start of the meeting. You need luck in meetings like this and it deserted us today.

"We gave it our all. We had an awful start but built some momentum and it felt good once we made the final, I fancied our chances.

"Peterborough looked like they were going to sneak it but we had a big chance until the chain broke on me. It's a tough one to take for us all.”

Harris’s misfortune was a boost for Edinburgh, who produced a superb performance on the day to take second place despite being without American star Ricky Wells.

“Josh (Pickering), as ever, was the most exciting rider on view in the whole meeting. Erik (Riss) was magnificent. You can see now some real potential in some of our riders, and there was some good racing.”
